Little Hay Templeton*
The Turf, Field and Farm gives- a
glowing description of the performance
of Midsummers Night’s Dream at the
Grand Opera House, New York, and
pays the following compliment to little
May Templeton, well known in our com
munity: » ' '
Little May Templeton, who filled the
part of Pool: to perfection, made one of
the most decided “hits” which has ever
been achieved by so your.g a child. This
precocious little girl fully deserved the
appreciative demonstrations of the au
dience, as the lines of the great poet
came from her lips in tones clear as the
notes of the clarion, and with an evi
dent understanding and feeling, which
gives evidence of a bright and able in
tellect and unusual talent.
The audience was fairly carried away
with the “doings and sayings,” if the
genuine Robin Goodfellowvras ever more
popular.
General Buckner—A Fortune Reclaimed.
Something of a romance, says the
World, is connected with a recent return
to Mrs. Buckner, the wife of Gen. S. B,
Buckner, the ex-Confederate General of
Kentucky, of a certain large property
which, when the war broke out, she
had conveyed to her brother. When
Gen. Buckner entered the Confederate
service, and before Mrs. B. joined him
there, she conveyed the property to her
brother under a deed of trust.
The young man afterwards married,
became a father, and entered the Union
service. The question now was, what
would be done with the property’. If
he should die or be killed without
making a will re-conveying to his sister
the property she had deeded to him,
his child would inherit the fortune.
On the eve of the battle of Sliarps-
burg, however, lie made a will of this
character, and at the battle named, was
killed. General Burnside, who com
manded the corps in which the young
man served, knew that this will had
been made. He kept the secret, and
after the war, informed Gen. Buckner
of it, and the latter, by his aid was en
abled to recover the will.
The testamentary proofs having been
obtained, Mrs. Buckners title was fully,
proved, and the fortune which seemed
at one time to hang on a slender thread
as returned to her.
Fall and Winter Goods.—W. M.
J. A. Gammon will receive, within
the next ten days, a large stock of fall
and winter dry goods, notions, boots,
shoes, hats, caps, etc. c
One of the most noteworthy pieces
of agricultural machinery on exhibi
tion at the Fair Grounds is the sulky
gang plow of Lewis Bishop. It is
Talladega invention, and does its work
admirably. It" will pay any fanner
to investigate its merits.
Our people should pay more atten
tion to improved labor saving farm ma
chinery. With Bishop’s gang plow,
saving of the labor of three plowmen
can be made.

Rome Market, Sept. 12. — Cotton is
buoyant to-day, with an advance on
our quotations of 11 cents. We quote:
New York Middlings 173 cents; Low
Middlings 16} cents; Good Ordinary
15! cents.
This advance is confined to our honie
market, and is induced by’ the very fa
vorable arrangements made by our
buyers to supply spinners direct from
this market. These arrangements will
enable Rome to compete with any mar
ket in the South.
The following are the latest tele
graphic reports:
New York, September 11.—Cotton
steady’ at 205 to 21; sales 2,810 bales.
Cotton—net receipts to-day 151 bales.
Sales of cotton for future delivery to
day closed easy; sales 12,400 bales, as
follows: September, IS 13-10. Octo
ber, 18 3-16. November, 17 7-S. De
cember, 17 13-16.
Money 7 in currency to gold. Ster
ling 8 4-2. Gold firmer at 11 14. Gov
ernments dull and irregular. States

Louisville, September 11. — Flour

Joseph Pearce, a worthy mechanic at
the Rolling Mills, had his hand pain
fully crushed by a spike machine last
Wednesday. The wound is a very
painful one, and necessitates the ampu
tation of three of his fingers.
“ Men are easily deluded,” says the
ex-Empress Eugenie; “ they are duped
on every hand; the same arts succeed
with aU of them, and the woman is a
genius who strikes out a new way to
get the better of them.”
We were pleased to meet in attend
ance on the Fair several old TaRadega
friends, among them R. E. Cook of Al
pine, Dr. Jos. H. Johnson, Major Thos.
S. Plowman, and John Adams of Tal
ladega.
Personal.—We had the pleasure of
meeting in our sanctum yesterday Mr.
T. J. Cross, the veteran proprietor of
that old and reliable Alabama journal
the Talladega Reporter and Walchtoicer.
The Reporter was established in 1844,
and during all the shade and sheen of
of our country’s fortunes, it has never
been wanting in its duty to its people.
Mr. Cross has been connected with the
paper ever since its establishment, and
faithfully at his post all the time.
The Reporter and its quondam neigh
bor the Watcldoiccr have been consoli
dated, and the two now make one of
the very best weekly papers in the
State. It circulates in a rich country,
much of it being tributary to Rome,
and its columns present a splendid
medium for advertisers.
Mr. Cross will probably call upon
our merchants in the interest of his pa
per, and we cordiaUy commend both
him and his paper to their favorable at
tention.
Dr. Franklin says there are two
things which a man ought not to boast of
—how much one can drink, or how far
he can drive a horse. “ For,” says he.
any fool can hold a bottle to his
mouth or sit in a cart and whip a horse.”
We commend this advice of the Doctor
to the two young sparks who drove
their poor t ired horses so often and pit
ilessly around the track, last Wednes
day.
The Fair is largely attended, and
proves, as all anticipated, a complete
success.
The cooking contest at Fair Grounds
is one of the most creditable features of
the exhibition. Too much honor can
not he accorded the accomplished la
dies for their action in the matter. It
is a step in the right direction, and we
honor them for taking it.
Mertiu' of the Fair Directors.
Rome, Ga., Sept 15,1873.
The Directors of the Fair Association
met this morning.
Present, A. A. Jor.os, President, j.-j.
Cohen, Vice President; Directors Whit
more, Cohen, Alexander, McDonald
and SprouR.
On motion, it was ordered that the
Treasurer be authorized to pay the
gifts upon the presentation of the tick
ets entitled to them, in accordance with
the approved list furnished him by the
secretary.
Parties holding chums against the
Association for 1873, are requested to
hand them in on or before Friday
next
Adjourned to Saturday next, at 10
o’clock A. M. A. A. Jones, President.
Tiios. J. Perry, Secretary.
The following letter sufficiently ex
plains itself. The first premium offered
for the same purpose is worth fifty dol
lars:
Rome, Ga., Sept. 12,1873.
T. J. Perry, Secretary A. and M. Associa
tion :
Dear Sir,—In consideration of the
great interest manifested in the object
for which our special premium was of
fered, and the probable nice discrimi
nation that will have to be made decid-
which one of the fair contestants
is entitled to the prize, we hereby of
fer and place at your disposal a No. 7
Robert E. Lee cooking store, with furni
ture, worth 827, to be given to the
young lady who prepares the second
best dinner, in accordance with the
specifications made in regard to our
first offer.
Respectfully yours,
Seay & Walker.
Messrs. Seay & Walker deserve the
thanks of every sensible person in the
land for their appropriate premiums of
cooking stoves for the best cooked din
ners by young ladies.
It is as creditable in them for offer
ing the premium as it was in the young
ladies to enter the contest, and now let
the Association award a similar pre
mium to each of the young ladies who
entered the contest—they richly de
serve it.
Tiie “Mocking Birds.” — Our citi
zens owe this inimitable troup thankse
for their pleasant entertainments dur-
the week. Their performances
were fully up to the highest standard
of the minstrel art, and would have
reflected credit upon any troupe. The
local hits were pleasant and telling,
without leaving a bitter sting behind.
The entertainment Wednesday night
was capital, and the enjoyment of the
house was complete.
We are proud of our home talent,
and hope to sec it always appreciated.
We are independent of the world,
so far as our amusements are concern
ed, and not one dime of our money
need ever be sent abroad for profession
al comedians.
The patriotic spirit that prompted
the efforts of the “Mocking Birds” in
jetting up these delightful entertain
ments, is commendable, and deserves
the gratitude of our people. Long may
they live to warble!
Stonewall Institute.—We call es
pecial attention to the advertisement of
this splendid educational institute,
winch appears in this morning’s paper.
In referring to the “ Stonewall” we do
so with a consciousness of doing a real
service to the cause of Southern educa
tion, as no institute in the land has a
better claim to the excellent reputation
it lias obtained, for thorough culture,
than this.
It will be seen by the advertisement
that the institute has been removed
from riantersvillc to Montevallo, where
it is now accommodated with large and
commodious buildings. It is also in a
delightful village on the Selma, Rome
& Dalton Railroad, pleasantly situated
in one of the most charming and most
healthful valleys in the South.
The society of Montevallo is well
known for its refinement and the high
moral purity that pervades its circles.
Prof. D. C. B. Conneriy is a ripe
scholar, a good disciplinarian, thorough,
energetic and worthy, a true Christian
gentleman, and eminently capacitated
for the noble profession he so gracefully
adorns.
The R. E. Lee is the name of an ele
gant new boat on the Alabama river.
She is an Alabama craft, from stem to
.stem, and was built in Mobile. That
old river dog, Capt. Owen Finnegan, is
the master.

Rome Market, Sept 15.—Cotton is

last quotations. We quote:

a barbecue to-morrow, at Horseleg

Hills, valued at $15,000—no insurance.
Stock on hand, both niaterial and man

The fire originated in the dry house,
which was connected with the other
building. The fire was discovered by;
the watchman at 15 minutes before 5
o’clock, on Monday morning.
The firemen were somewhat delayed,
yet, under all the circumstances, were
prompt in getting to the fire. But the
flames spread with great rapidity, and
all was soon in ashes.
It will be seen that■ the loss falls prin
cipally upon Mr. C. E. Hills, one ot
our most enterprising and in every way
best citizens. The entire community
deeply sympathise with him and de
plore his loss. 9,1
Death from Damp In a Well.
Mr. W. H. Thomas, a good citizen of

be detected by lowering a lighted cail-

A Good Suggestion.
Major J. H. Dent makes a few prac
tical suggestions to the Patrons of Hus
bandry that look like business.
This is the real way to help the
cause: by a mutual interchange of
views, information andBUggestions,and
not by a quixotic fightagainst an imag
inary enemy in the shape of railroads
and factors.
The foRowing are the suggestions
made by the Major, which we dip from
the Commercial of yesterday:
mates, and they can then be their own
judges Whether it wiR be best to hold
on to their cotton orseU on the mar
ket -- -. • !
It forms a part of the'duties of the
Granges to coRect : np all information:
that will benefit the farmers and their
interest, and let it be known to tiieul;
and the period is near at hand wt(4»
the cot^pn crop reports may be of great
•benefit.-to them. • So we suggest that
aU the" Granges set :immediately to
work ahd get up all the information
desired: through its members; make
their reports to' the State Grange, and
let tho Stoto Hranee mramre notes, in
order by the first of December the
planter^ and farmers may know through
their own order wliat is the crop pros
pect
As Patrons of Husbandry we have
no right now, nor should we depend
any longer on the commercial statis
tics or reports as to the crops. We have
the means of knowing all' such facts
through our own resources, and we
should go to work and do so.
The 6rder was inaugurated to make
us self-reliant and independent, and
we must leave no stone unturned in
consummating so desirable an object
Wc say, let every Grange go to work
and ascertain the cotton prospects for
1873, and furnish each subordinate
Grange, with a report by the first of
December. Such will look like busi
es. J. H. Dent.
The Proof.
Longstrcet, in a letter to the Rich
mond Enquirer, virtuously - calls for
the truth of the statement recently
made by Col. Withers that he (Long-
street) “not only accepted the issue,
but went over to the Radicals for mon
ey-’
The truth is found in the damning
fact that Longstrcet did go over, and
that lie received a monied position, and
has been sucking at the Radical teat
ever since. The precise terms and
words of the bargain may not be
proved, but the fact as thus evidenced
will forever

Hoc tetter's Stomach Bitters.
Eloctricity, shower baths, the flesh brush, sea
bathing, etc., may be well enough in their way
aa auxiliaries, but they «lo not reach the sources
of the evil. All physical debility proceeds either
from a derangement of the functions of assimil-
aUUg, Bvi.is.Ht-— - 1 *- 1 —n—•- **» from ■lntffiah
constitution. In either case, and also in cases
where both censes exist, the Bitters will produce
aa immediate and salatary change in condition
of the paticit, and eventually effect a complete
core. . None ef the dangerous alkaloids, too ofter
administered as tonics, can be otherwise than
deleterious under such circumstances, and tbe
giving of mercury ia positively criminal.
The direct effect of'the great vegetable speci
fic will be manifested in an improved appetite, a
more cheerful frame of mind, a gradual return of
strength, an increase of flesh, and a healthier
complexion. Meanwhile, however, the constitu
tion, if inert and feeble, will have been rousod to
complete renovation by the subtle elements of in-
vigoration contained in the Bitters.

Ben Batter ns > Schoolmaster.
In his younger days Ben Butler was
a school teacher at Dracut, a Httle place
opposite LoweR, and among his schol
ars was a boy named Ray, who subse
quently became an Episcopal elegy man,
and finally developed into a newspaper
writer.
Butler was then a lank, long-haired,
cross-eyed, queer looking character, and
was the terror of the scholars. He oft
en got into an uncontrollable rage with
them, and feU upon them with tongue
and rattan. ‘
One day Ray gave him offense in
some way. Butler made a speech at
him, wild in its invective (very much
Rkc his other speeches), threatening
him with murder, slaughter and aU
sorts of horrors; and, finally, losing all
his self-control, he made a rush for the
offender, who, however, sprang for the
door, got out and took to his heels.
Butler seized a big jack-knife which
was lying open on his desk, leaped over
the benches, and with hatless head, heel
less slippers, and long-taRed coat, gave
chase. The boy was fleet of foot and
ran for his life,-getting far ahead of
the stumbling teacher.
Butler kept up the race, however, yel-
Rng after the flying boy pursued him
through Dracut, crossed the bridge over
the Merrimac river at the height of his
speed, entered LoweR at a full gallop,
blowing tremendously, and rushed
through the streets after his prey, to
the amazement of the men, women and
children who happened to witness the
scene.
It was a Big Bethel aflair or Fort
Fisher explosion. The boy escaped,
and getting to his home after a two
hours’ race, made faces from the second
story at Butler, who, bursting with
chagrin, had to pick up his* collapsed
nerves and wend his bareheaded way
back to Dracut, with the dosed jack
knife in his pocket. _
The story would not he worth recaR-
ing if it were not so very characteristic
of Butter.
An American Tichbome has appear
ed ai Maunch Chunk, Pennsylvania. He
claims forty thousand acres of mineral
lanl in Luzerne county. These lands
were purchased years ago, and now
owied by tax titles,‘or’sufficient con-
veytnces, it is said.
The heir, James TumbuR, was lost
for twenty years. He went to sea, was
wrecked in the Golf of Mexico, was
picked up and carried to Soqth
America; Rved for - a time on the
Isthmus of Panama, was one of the
Argonauts of ’49 to California, and
finally settled in Mazatlan, Mexico.
